S6E2 - The Fear Project - Addressing People’s Fear & Anxietys in Snow Sports w/ Kimberley Kay and Dr. Carol Porter

Good Day to you all, My Friends & Fans! Welcome to another new episode of the Ski Rex Media Podcast. This week, Kimberley Kay, author & illustrator of Ski A to A, returns to the podcast, but with a new project and a new friend. She is joined by Dr. Carol Porter to talk about The Fear Project.

Snowsports Fear - Is fear or anxiety spoiling your time on the slopes? 

 Author and Illustrator of Ski A to Z Kimberley Kay and Snowsport England coach Dr Carol Porter will share actionable solutions on how to reduce the impact of fear and anxiety on snowsports enjoyment and participation. 

 A survey of skiers and snowboarders sought to understand the ways in which fear and anxiety can affect them. The survey data was complemented by in-depth case study interviews to determine the key themes and issues and how they can spoil time on the slopes and reduce people’s inclination to take part in snowsports. 

 These issues have been addressed and solutions determined so set yourself up for a great 24/25 season with this insightful and inspiring interview as the starting point. 

 The Fear Project is supported by Snowsport England, The Hill (Home of Ski Rossendale), Ski Press and GB Snowsport.

Enjoy the episode as we get deeper into the fear project as we talk all about The Fear Project and a little more here on the Ski Rex Media Podcast. Thanks for listening.
